Nagios Support Forum

Hello

Here is my backup settings



If i try to restore snapshot older than 14 days, it says



Thansk for help.

Can you please include the images?

What about now..

Interesting. How many nodes are in your cluster, and do all of the nodes have access to the same repository? In this case the repository is /tmp/nagios.

For the backup and restore process to work properly, you will need to have an NFS/CIFS/etc share that is mounted on all of your nodes in the cluster at /tmp/nagios. This way all of the nodes can access all of the backups properly.

EDIT: I personally recommend using NFS, as it's easy and well trusted as far as linux file-sharing protocols go. I have had issues on my test servers using CIFS shares as sometimes they disconnect mid-backup, which can corrupt backups and prevent future jobs. Your mileage may vary, but I figured I'd throw in my 2 cents.

I'm just testing the product so now i have only one node.

It seems like the hole backup process has stopped and no new metadata or snapshots are created..

Here are files today

Please answer the below questions:

How many nodes are in your cluster, and do all of the nodes have access to the same backup repository?

If the above is fine, I would like you to run through the following procedure.

Run a following tail on jobs.log on every node - this file will be 0bytes because it is truncated often - hence the follow-tail: Now run a 'reset jobs' command, follow by a 'backup and maintenance' command - you can force these commands to run via the Web GUI: Let me know what your jobs.log files turn out. Thanks!

Like I said, I have only one node.

That reset button worked! New snapshots appear and I can restore them.

This is enough for me, thanks!

samutu,

Glad that worked for you. Feel free to open another thread if you have any additional questions/problems. Thanks!
